Massive thanks to Tony and the team at Adelaide’s famous 24/7 bakery & cafe for another season of sponsorship.
BAKERY ON O'CONNELL has long been a favourite destination for the squad after training sessions at the Uni Loop or North Adelaide hills sessions.
Sometimes choosing from the menu is tougher than the training session because there is so much choice and it’s all so good.
See you Saturday Bakery On O’Connell

Australian Athletics National Championships

Good to be heading home after much time away from family. Pete and I have had one night at home since Good Friday with The Stawell Gift leading into Open Nationals in Sydney and the Junior Nationals in Brisbane. It’s been a great 18 days with 10 Grange Track Squad athletes and families.
There have been some amazing achievements like PB’s and finals. There has been some disappointments but no failures. If you do the work, commit 100% to the competition then you can not fail, you learn.
We are proud of our athletes and trust that they are proud of the season they have had.
Thanks to the families that commit to our program, it’s by working together we achieve the best for the athletes.
Time for a break.
Ian and Pete
